These inmates in Kane County are taking a page out of Johnny Cash's book and filling the halls of their jail with music.
KANAB, Utah — Music has the power to change our moods and so much more. Now some local inmates are learning it has the power to change lives.
“I know that I have a lot of positive influence on the guys here, and I love that. It's pretty rewarding for me," said Aaron Richmond, who teaches the music program.“You can see a guy come in and sometimes they'll be in a bad mood," Richmond said."And a little while later, they'll just light up and they'll be feeling it and they'll be positive when they leave."“There's inmates in the back that have amazing talent," Dep. Colton Cram said.
“I get rewarded a lot by just thinking that a lot of these guys can go home and play music for their family and friends, and maybe teach their neighbors or kids how to play music, and something they didn't know before they came in," Richmond said. “We get to perform these concerts every few months. We'll do Christmas concerts, Halloween concerts, summer and spring concerts," Richmond said.
